Granny Smith Apple

It’s time for some wine! After selling out of our first vintage (2009 Pinot Noir) extremely quickly, to which we can’t thank each and every one of you enough, we are thrilled to announce the release of TWO wines – both from the Willamette Valley. Our first white wine, the 2011 Pinot Blanc, is now ready for you to taste and try, and our 2010 Pinot Noir, has just been labeled and is jumping out of the bottle!

The Pinot Blanc is a bright, flavorful white – indicative of the vintage, with great balanced acids and flavors of lemon and Granny Smith apple, along with litchi and Asian pear. All of the fruit comes from the Yamhill Carlton and Chehalem Mountains AVA’s and we believe that this varietal is a natural pairing for its sibling, Pinot Noir, and flavor-wise is a great complement. The Pinot Blanc is a great wine to pair with any type of cuisine as it is extremely versatile, especially Asian flavors as it cuts through the spice or just to sip while on your patio in the backyard. This wine is available to you at $16.00 a bottle, $192.00 a case, plus shipping.

Our Pinot Noir is an extremely balanced wine from the 2010 harvest, with lower sugars and structured acid. The nose has a slight smokiness to it with red and dark fruits coming through the palate, finishing with some chocolate and plum. Serve with oysters, roast chicken and halibut, or just have a glass with friends. The Pinot Noir is $25.00 a bottle, $300.00 a case plus shipping.

The wines are now available for you to purchase and can be shipped starting on Tuesday, April 8th. Feel free to email, call or contact me directly so I can get your order together for you!
